Although not new to Nav Systems, the "Home" feature on 730 radion in my 2012 GC is. Since getting the Jeep this feature has been very useful when traveling...of course on return trips, especially to see what the arrival time back home will be.

However, I was talking with someone at work that just bought a Toyota Highlander and that their dealer told them never to program your actual home address into the Nav system. The reason being that if stolen, the theif could go directly to your home and have the garage door opener to ease their access as well.

I guess I never really though about that but it does make sense. The suggestion is to program a nearby location, say a mile or so, and a common location such as a Walgreens, Post Office, etc.

How many others have done this? Am I being too paranoid about having my home address in the system?

Mine is programed with "HOME" at the entrance to our subdivision, over a mile away - this is more to deter the DBs who will record the addy of your home with out thinking about the registration in the glove box.

I have home set as the street parallel with mine. The only annoyance is when I get home, I have to "stop routing" because once I start it up again, it will try to get me to turn around and go to that other street lol. Minor problem for piece of mind.
